    The girl talked about in the video is a girl who works in a glass booth for peepshows at old, travelling circuses or carnivals. You pay the money, then go into private area where there is a friendly, scantily clad woman in a glass booth who will chat with you or move around as you direct them until your time is up.
    The young boy who stars in the music video grew up to be Alexis Arquette, who also starred in "Pulp Fiction" as the scared white guy with the "hand cannon" who gets blown away in the apartment where Jules and Vincent retrieve Mr. Wallace's briefcase.

    Everybody complained for months that Brad spent too much time on the lyrics, now I don't think he reads them anymore. First verse, behind the glass. You can look but you can't touch. This is not a mystery, this is a peep show girl.

    • @PlateOshrimp499
      @PlateOshrimp499 2 года назад +3

      Peep Shows are close to non-existent in this country nowadays, so the first verse lyrics may seem like easy bread crumbs to follow for some. But for Brad and Lex, who l ikely haven't encountered 70s/80s Times Square or rural lurid sideshow dancers before (or watched HBO's The Deuce for example) this is a pretty close reading. Internet porn is like the crack cocaine of the exploitation world, so lots of other ways to get erotic kicks in our sexually repressed society like skin mags, peep shows and drive-in movies have all given way to the interwebs.

    The Tubes are a super talented band and they have a lot of great songs, many of them having sarcastic humor in their lyrics. They had a bunch of hit songs besides this one (one of their best IMO), including Talk To Ya Later, White Punks On Dope, Don't Touch Me There, Don't Want To Wait Anymore, among others, but I think you guys would like the song Tip Of My Tongue, which is really funky and has the Earth, Wind and Fire horn section (along with some slightly inappropriate lyrics). I went to see them play in a fairly small venue in central MA several years ago and shortly before they were scheduled to start, my wife went to go to the bathroom, which was down a set of stairs in the corner of the venue. The members of the Tubes were on the stairs waiting to go on and when my wife went to go past them, one of them said "Where are you going"?! She said "Ummm, I'm going to the bathroom", and he responded with "Alright, we'll wait". 😂

      “White Punks On Dope,” in particular, should be seen live. This band is very theatrical in concert, and they put on a show. WPOD features Fee Waybill’s alter ego, drugged out glam rock star Quay Lewd, and must be seen to be believed.

    She is a girl who works in a peep show. It has a place to put money like a candy or Coke machine; put a dollar in, the curtain opens and she is there behind the glass (lyrics tell you that in first verse). She struts around like a stripper and you can talk to her. After a minute, the curtain closes. Want to see her again? Put another dollar in the machine.
    Y'all miss out on so much by not watching the videos. In this video, you see what Fee Waybill (the lead singer) is singing.
    I'd suggest you google the lyrics to these songs, then watchnthe video and follow the lyrics. You'll be able to find out what the song is about more completely and you would never have to guess or speculate again.

    Regardless of any other meaning this song may have, there's also an official surface meaning. It's meant to evoke memories of circus freak shows, where you pay to view odd sights and sounds. There is an official video to this song, where the lead singer is a ring master, and he sets a young circus attendee on a sort of carnival ride. (In the lap of an attractive woman) The rail car weaves its way through a sort of freak show, complete with mermaids & stuff. I HIGHLY recommend that you see the video for this song. Of course, I'm pretty sure you're correct about the deeper meaning behind the video - to some extent.

    A very small place.
    We went down there the night of the concert and got tickets.
    Three rows from the stage, right in the middle. For 6 bucks.
    This was when they first released their first album.
    The one that had White Punks On Dope and Qualude on it.
    ( I don't know how to spell Qualude ).
    In L. A. this was during the Hollywoodish era.
    That's what we use to call it.
    We were all rock n rollers.
    I was 17 years old at the time. And already had been to at least 20 concerts.
    Like Zeppelin twice, ZZ Top and Aerosmith just to name a few.
    But this Tube's concert was one of a kind.
    I'd never seen anything like this, and NOTHING like it sense.
    They were great, they acted out all their songs. All in different costumes.
    They had topless chicks dancing around in some of the songs. And then during some songs, they had big TVs showing porn videos.
    They were very different.
    But they were great.
    And put on a great show.
    If you two want to hear a song of theirs that will really let you hear how different they really were back then.
    Check out What Do You Want From Life.
    The last line in that song is
    A Baby's Arm Holding A Apple. LMFAO 🤣😆.
    You two got to check it out.
    I would also like to thank you two for all the videos you make.
    You listen to a lot of songs that came out when I was a teenager.
    And it really brings back some great memories from back then.
    That I haven't thought about in years.
    Thank you both so much.
    Take care and keep on rock'in.

    Their live show is like no other. I saw The Tubes multiple times, but my favorite was at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston on Halloween night. Everybody was in costume, and it was crazy. Looking down over the crowd was like being in a Star Wars scene of a movie.

    OK guys... so as a high school boy in San Francisco in the 80s there was a club on Broadway Street that was different from the other strip clubs called The Lusty Lady. You would walk in to a booth, put a dollar into a slot and a partition would rise up and on the other side of it were naked ladies dancing. One of the ladies would then walk over to the glass and perform a show. Just as it got interesting the partition would lower and you would have to put more money in to get more show. The Tubes wrote this song about that specific San Francisco club. It became one of their huge 80s hit songs! The club made a lot of money!

    Bowling! Back in the 80's, a local New Wave Station, 91X FM, used to have "Rock N Bowl" events at local bowling alleys! They would broadcast live and play all the great stuff, while you bowled in a darkened bowling alley with only the lanes lit up and day glow and neon lights going! Lex would have loved it!

    The Strokes milled around.. experimented on a few albums. Then one day their record label said "you have to have a hit or we're dropping you". And hence this song and "talk to you later' were born.

  • @Ezoangelofdeath

    The Tubes are one of my favorite bands, seen them twice, sadly not in the 70's when they did their huge theatrical show's, they were very intertwined with Toto, actually it's hard to say which albums Lukather was really playing on, anyways, should check out their songs Tip Of My Tongue, which is about going downtown, and Talk To Ya Later, Fee Waybill is one of the most clever lyricists in history.

  • @Mcbuzz37
    @Mcbuzz37 2 года назад

    The song was about peepshow booths (pre internet) . A private booth with a chair, and kleenex. A slot to put dollars in and a phone handset. Put in money and the metal door slides up to reveal a scantily clad woman in a glass booth who you can talk to through the phone. She dances and puts on a show as requested by the viewer. The trick is that the door is on a timer and slides closed unless you keep feeding it money. Thus the "SHOOP" sound in the song which is supposed to be the sound of the door sliding.

    I used to love this song when new. The Tubes were featured in the Movie Xanadu along with ELO and Olivia Newton John, which was the first rock album I ever bought and is a favorite even today. BTW I think they were singing about strippers at a peep show. Most prostitutes don’t cost you “a dollar first” lol.

    This band started in the early 70s, playing something close to Frank Zappa, but enjoyable and much more meaningful, usually satirical songs... they use to made crazy live performances, very funny and theatrical.
    Those were The Tubes I find interesting and memorable.
    In the early 80s they had this hit and Talk To You Layer but to be fair, it wasn't the same... except live. They were still hysterical and funny through that time. I wish someone would suggest some of their most hilarious live performances like White Punks On Dope
